I like your comparison to nutrition. To stretch the analogy slightly, sometimes in life you only have time for that microwave meal rather than a freshly prepared salad. It's about ingestion of calories to keep going, not the quality of those.

The same _can be_ true with code. There can be a better way to do something but if you cannot afford the time to develop and iterate this idea then it can be advantageous to develop the simplest solution that meets your needs today and make progress.
